I would recommend always eating this hot! I tried packing it in my lunch to eat cold one day, and it was not great. Also, some spaghetti sauce will definitely take it up a level.
Thanks for the feedback Sierra! =)
Would this recipe work using olive oil and all purpose flour? Thanks!
We haven't tried it, but we would think that it would! Please let us know if you give it a try!
